College Transition... better for the kids than me!

SHU Rugby... take car of my boy!

Villanova... here comes John!

Gene and John ~ June, 2009

I'm not great with change, especially when it involves people...leaving. My nephew is leaving tomorrow for Villanova, he and Gene besides being close cousins, are close friends - so happy for John, but I'll miss him. Gene is starting to move into his off campus house today... "The Rugby House"... it's everything you'd imagine a Rugby House to look like! He's so excited... I'm dealing with it. It's the third time for him having to say good bye to his friends and girl friend... I'm not good with that either! Once everyone is settled, and happy - I'll be fine and life won't skip a beat. Maybe it brings back memories like yesterday on how I never liked leaving home for college, I never adjusted to dorm life and after 2 years at 2 different colleges, I moved back home, had a car, went to a local college, and I thrived. To each, his own. For me, realizing change is just part of life, missing people is very hard for me... but knowing they are all happy is what really counts!

About Me

OK.... I like to be around people that DO NOT COMPLAIN... and are positive! (A FINE TRAIT I'VE LEARNED FROM MY MOTHER) I like to always have something to look forward to.... I cherish times with my husband Phil and our son Gene...they are my life! I love to be with my sisters, mother, family and my friends are very important to me. I cherish staying in touch with people...I don't like to ever loose communication with anyone! I feel fortunate to love my work and career! I always want something "cooking". You'll always find a candle burning and music on in my house ~ and you are always welcomed here! I hate to clean my house...but want it clean! LOVE...LOVE our dog (Reilly)~ she's the best! People, not things make me happy.... and I love to be happy and be with people that make me laugh!

Favorite Humanitarians...

Bono..."The Church has its problems, but the older I get, the more comfort I find there"

Mothera Teresa...“The Fruit of Love is Service”

Jimmy Carter..."We must adjust to changing times and still hold to unchanging principles"

Audrey Hepburn..."For attractive lips, speak words of kindness. For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people. For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry. For poise, walk with the knowledge that you never walk alone. People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed. Never throw out anyone. Remember, if you need a helping hand, you will find one at the end of each of your arms."

Robert Kennedy..."I believe that, as long as there is plenty, poverty is evil".

Eleanor Roosevelt... "The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams"
